Chalk it up to pre-Olympics madness, or the public's general fascination of anything, like, "totally extreme!" Snow sports like Heli-Skiing, which entails being dropped onto the slopes via helicopter, are popular among the adventure-seeking set. It's certainly not for novices or the faint of heart—and in the case of a package being offered by The Four Seasons Jackson Hole, the faint of wallet, either.
"Recommended for strong intermediate through expert skiers," the Four Seasons is holding a three-day, four-night How to Heli-Camp from February 3-7, 2010 wherein participants will be educated on safety standards and essential Heli-Skiing techniques. The payoff will be the chance to put what you've learned to the test on "untouched snow."]]>
